Their horchata is a MUST, especially because they serve such generous portions! The chips and salsa are delicious, and the restaurant is always so clean, which makes the experience even better. And let's not forget their tacos de asada (not pictured) because those are delicious ! One of my absolute favorite spots in the 559 for enchiladas and horchata.

We also got a side of chips and salsa and two mini tacos, one with Al pastor and the other with barbacoa. The Asada tasted bad. The rest of the burrito was fine. The green sauce was great, pico and guac were fine. But the meat had this weird old tasting flavor to it. It even had a rancid smell to it after pulling a few pieces out to see what the problem was. I immediately had to stop eating it, the pieces were also fatty, tough and hard like a pebble. The chips also tasted old and stale, like store bought chips left out for a while. The Al Pastor was the highlight of the meal. The meat tasted charred, it was flavorful and well seasoned. I honestly should've grabbed a burrito with that meat instead. Barbacoa was just ok, nothing to write home about. A little more tough than what we've had from Chipotle. Not really seasoned. Overall, disappointed. Los Arbolitos was the spot to go to for a really good asada burrito. Unfortunately this doesn't seem like the case anymore.

I really enjoyed this place on Main Street in Visalia. Popped in on Mother's Day for breakfast and…read morewas seated right away. The customer service was excellent. A warm greeting and friendly and knowledgeable server. The space is larger than it looks from the outside. Although it was busy, it did not impact the service. The coffee was hot and good. The tables were decorated with beautiful fresh roses in vases. I noted some Micheladas and other drinks being made at the small drink/bar area with great care and looked delicious. The chilaquiles had a flavorful sauce with roasted peppers and onions. The plate also came with refried beans and rice. The homemade flour tortillas were quite good. The ham and cheese omelet was filled with large pieces of ham along with refried beans and a small salad. I saw the table next to me get menudo and it looked fabulous so it'll be my choice next time. Colima's downtown is a pleasant experience and a definite must try if you're in the area.

It was alright not as good as I expected. The service was great. The menudo wasn't as flavorful.read more

I am from Southern California and I mention this to say that I wish they were located closer to me…read more. I found them because they were close to my air bnb and had a good rating and I see why. Everything was good. For dinner I had the carne asada burrito it was one of the best burritos I've ever had. Everything was so fresh and the carne was flavorful not big and lined with fat like most places serve. My family got a quesadilla plate, enchilada plate, and a quesabirria. The service was amazing the girl at the window was so friendly and answered all questions. It is outdoor seating but when it's cold they have the heat lamps so you will not be cold. I absolutely loved the green salsa with avocado chunks in it. Everything is 10/10 I went back the next morning for breakfast with my family and I had the carne asada sopes. Others in my family had the birria (that came in a bowl), Gordita, menudo, quesabirria, and wonderful drinks. In case you are a review person and reviews help to make your decision my review still does not do this place justice. If you get lost like I did because I am not from the area and my gps was probably off just call them and she will give you information like she did me. Also other reviews mentioned not having their food. I checked my bag before I left because I knew I was hungry and it took me all of 15 seconds. P.S. I devoured my food so fast I didn't even think to take pictures, but again you will not be disappointed!

For 1 burrito and 1 taco with tip, came out to around $33. Don't do delivery from here. The Burrito was not very good. The meat was almost like ground beef in texture but also non existent at the same time. I tasted more beans than rice but even then, it was more of a soupy burrito with a tortilla that you had to rip at and hope each bite wouldn't undo the whole burrito. There was some kind of salsa inside it that wasn't apart of the description. It gave it an off flavor. Al Pastor taco was meh. The corn tortillas tasted homemade, which was nice. But the meat was stringy, kind of fatty and an off color almost a light orange. It tasted better than the asada but still wasn't very good. I do appreciate they followed my request for extra salsa, but these packs look like they come from a frozen dinner you get at the store. Absolutely off putting. The flavor was "ok" but nothing special. Overall, not worth it. $33 and I was left with an upset stomach. I had such high hopes! I haven't been in a long time and was hoping it would have been an amazing experience. I was wrong. I gave 3 stars cause I do appreciate them following the special instructions most other restaurants don't. But that still can't justify the food.

Service: We were greeted immediately after entering the restaurant. The greeter was super polite. She ended being our waitress. We were seated immediately and had a menu, water, and chips and salsa almost as fast as we sat down. Drinks: Their drinks were awesome and delicious! Definitely an A+ for taste and presentation. So many alcohol options to choose from. Food: The food was very good. Chips and salsa are always a great addition to any Mexican restaurant visit. I give them a B on presentation though. Although the food was delicious, my plate looked like it was just thrown together. We hear this restaurant has a second location so my wife and I are excited about trying the other location soon. I recommend this place as it has been one of the better restaurants we've visited. Thank you El Tarasco for the wonderful service.

But in the past several…read moreyears, it's completely gone downhill both in customer service, quality of the food, & its pricing. The portions have gotten noticeably smaller, however the prices continue to rise. What you are served is definitely not worth what Azul's charges you. This place used to be a regular go-to spot for myself when I am in Visalia, which is quite often. My sister & her husband were weekly regulars there & were (allegedly) friends with the owner. The last several times I've been there for a meal with my sister & BIL the owner has come over to say hello, but she has not seemed genuine or at all happy to see my sister & BIL. Instead, her "hellos" & the quick small talk that is expected of an owner greeting their regulars seemed incredibly forced & just completely inorganic. It was like she did not want us there, found it annoying that we were there, & did not appreciate our business at all. That made me feel very uncomfortable. The last time my family was there, it was my sister, mother, & their friend (a Visalia local) that were dining in. My mother picked up the check & paid by debit card & rounded up the just under $70 bill to $90 for the tip. When she looked at her bank statement a few days later, she discovered that the server had charged $100. My mom called my sister, who told her to call the owner & let her know what happened to make it right. They were trying to give the benefit of the doubt, but at the same time knew the chances of an experienced server mistaking a 2-digit total for a 3-digit total is highly unlikely. When my mother called the restaurant to speak to the owner, she kept my mother waiting on hold for the longest time. After the owner finally did come to the phone, she was very rude to my mom: didn't say hello or ask how she was. The owner completely dismissed the occurrence, saying that the server who ran the card was one of her best girls & longest employees & that there was no way that could have happened. The way she spoke to my mother, it was like she was trying to make my mother feel like it was her fault, & was making an issue out of nothing. My mom assured her that she had copies of the receipt with the correct total, to which the owner rudely said something like "okay, so what now? You want the $10 back?" completely dismissively. My mother tried to be polite--as this was a "friend" of my sister's & my sister & BIL were still at that point regulars--so she said the next time they came in to dine, they could discount that tab by $10. Obviously, that never happened. When my BIL found that out, he & my sister both decided they would no longer give their business to such a place. None of us have been back since. I do not recommend eating here. You will get mediocre food at an expensive price tag. Plus you will run the risk of dishonest servers over tipping themselves under the protection of an owner who clearly does not care & puts her customers down. If this was the experience of regular customers, I can only imagine how the non-regulars are treated...

I knew this place when it was El Presidente and I knew that it had closed. The land lord that owns…read morethe property is a friend of mine and wanted to meet me here. Like another customer stated that it had a funky odor and it was covered with bleach smell was true on my first visit and after talking with the owner of the restaurant, the menu sounded like it was worth coming back. I came back a second time and the owner recognized me and greeted me and directed us towards our table. There was no odor this time and it is an older establishment that actually was a house at one time. If you sit in the back area you can still see the crown moldings of the living area. We ordered the Marlin Empanadas- there is 4 to an order ($12). I wish I cut one so that you can see in the picture that it definitely is Marlin. Marlin is red flesh and I've fished in Cabo San Lucas and caught marlin and it's not the best flavored fish as it is dense and very oily. This definitely tasted like I remembered the last time I caught a marlin! Still this was good as I don't see marlin on the menu much so I usually order shrimp empanadas. We ordered Cooked Seafood Molcajete- Shrimp, octopus, crab, fish, and mussels. It came out boiling hot and I'm going to post video of the clay pot so you can see that it comes out hot from the kitchen!! Ordered a side of whole beans and homemade corn tortillas. Yes they do have homemade corn tortillas here and I definitely recommend! They also have a Tomahawk steak served with shrimp ($75) that I hear is a good seller!! Come support this restaurant! It's located on North Sante Fe and away from most businesses so you don't know it's there or has re-opened like I did!! Quality is good and everything had good flavor!

I'm very disappointed with my recent experience on 6/29. During our lunch visit, I placed a to-go…read moreorder for an "El Limonero" (fish ceviche) tostada along with our dine-in meal. When we arrived at my family member's house in Shafter and opened the container, the entire lime juice had leaked into the bag, and what was left was basically just a tiny portion of cucumber and avocado--definitely not a complete order. How was this almost $20 ($15 + Svc fee) I immediately took a photo and called the restaurant. Our server, Adriana, asked me to text the picture to the # I was calling +1 (559) 830-4004 so the manager could approve a refund. I did exactly as instructed, and they did respond after reviewing picture and said they would issue refund... but despite following up multiple times, no one ever processed my refund or even responded. Considering how expensive the food is here (plus added service fees), it's really disappointing to be treated with such unprofessionalism. All I expected was accountability and a resolution for an order that was clearly incomplete. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and customer care has left a very negative impression, and I don't plan to return.
